OpenAI said it’s ending its contract with Cursor, a coding startup recently acquired by SpaceX, because it doesn’t trust an Elon Musk-owned company to comply with its terms of service.
The company said in a statement published on Friday night that it plans to shut off Cursor’s access to OpenAI models on November 12.
OpenAI did not accuse Cursor of violating any terms. It instead pointed to past conduct by another Musk-owned company, Twitter, which Musk bought in 2022 and merged with SpaceX earlier in February.
Basically everything he owns has been merged into SpaceX this year which was to make everything look profitable or something, I don’t pretend to understand this part of finance.
Twitter/X, xAI/Grok and Cursor are now all part of SpaceX under the SpaceXAI subsidiary.

A lot of people access potential profits based upon revenue numbers. So when Musk wraps everything under Starlink, he can inflate the revenue numbers. Still show an overall profitability, and then the PR goes. Starlink’s profit margins will increase by 5% points next year. Which sounds and is impressive, but the overall revenue numbers shown by SpaceX covers a lot of other products.
It basically aims to fool people doing a surface level analysis
Not only that, the reasoning to merge space X with x AI and X is to label space X as an AI company, and thus should have valuation of one.
This always strikes me as odd because, given the AI race, the future value of each company is basically infinity or zero.
I just want to point out how ugly is uninspired is the new logo. The old one was supposed to represent the space launches, the new one is like if someone gave the spacex and the anthropic logo to grok and asked a merge
No, you’re right. He has A LOT of failed or failing projects no one talks about, like The Hyperloop.
The Hyperloop completely succeeded at exactly what it was meant to do: delay the California High Speed Rail project for a couple of years to maybe sell a few more Tesla cars.
The Hyperloop is when I realized he was a fraud.
The concept has existed for a century, it is old news, it has never worked, it can never work.
I recently re-read his “paper” on that, and it looks so much dumber now than it did at the time.
I remember watching a weird German guy and his Chinese(?) girlfriend making a video response to a Thunderf00t video about the Hyperloop, and it was like they were in a cult, they kept referring to “The Whitepaper” like it was holy scripture, and could not be wrong, despite evidence to the contrary.
TF is annoying and has gone overboard several times, but his Hyperloop videos are on point.
